The best way to describe Goth is by saying "and this happened... followed by this... and this shortly followed by that.." Beyond the concept of 2 teens obsessed with death, it really wasn't all that great. It was flat and boring. Not even the occasional great artwork could save it. It's not even consistent in quality when it comes to the art, because there's times where it flat out looks like a meas.
To all their own, but Goth was just poorly executed sequences of events with a new flavor each chapter for the damsel to be put in and the makeshift detective to suddenly show up to.
For a manga which has you suspend your disbelief but with far greater results other than Hikari Lychee Club, I'd recommend Pupa (manga, NOT anime) which has a subpar story but incredibly far out scenes and artwork far less tame.. And let's not forget the mangaka Shintaro Kago with his ultra violent obscenities and creative depictions of them all. Goth could've been more but left me feeling like I've missed a bunch of chapters in between.
TLDR: Characters, flat. Story, doesn't feel like it has much to say. Artwork, at times is great with some memorable scenes but otherwise generic.
Some people really like this, and there's even a novel that some people say is much better. I haven't read it yet, but I plan to. The manga is a short read, so I'd definitely recommend just so you can form your own opinions. I read it in less than 30 minutes.
